Description : Add YAML and YAML::Syck support to CGI::Session's serializers
This library can be used by CGI::Session to serialize session data. It uses
YAML, or the faster C implementation, YAML::Syck
if it is available. YAML serializers exist not just for Perl but also other
dynamic languages, such as PHP, Python, and Ruby, so storing session data
in this format makes it easy to share session data across different languages.
.
YAML is made to be friendly for humans to parse as well as other computer
languages. It creates a format that is easier to read than the default
serializer.
Additionnal note:
I package this perl module (within the Debian Perl Group) as this is yet another
koha dependency. I package it before seeing the RFP (and the previous work of the
RFP submitter Daniel Kahn Gillmor based on dh-make-perl).
For release managers:
As noticed by Daniel Kahn Gillmor in #484556, this perl module where included
in libcgi-session-perl in stable (etch) but it is not anymore in testing (lenny).
You might want to consider a freeze exception for this little module if you want
to avoid a regression in available perl modules. But I will not push futher in
this direction as, IMHO, no other software currently in lenny requires this perl
module (koha requires it, but the koha packaging has not been ready for lenny)
Best regards,
Vincent
